When his connection to the Force was severed, however, Ulic turned his back on the Sith and would eventually seek a form of redemption by helping the Jedi. He committed terrible acts in his times, subjugating the Mandalorian clans, leading an attack on Coruscant, and killing his own brother, Cay Qel-Droma. When his master was later killed, however, Qel-Droma became consumed with rage and started down a dark road that led to him eventually taking on the mantle of Sith Lord. Despatched to try and resolve the Beast Wars on Onderon, the Jedi initially worked alongside the planet's monarchy, before eventually switching sides when it was revealed that the Royal Family were Dark Siders. To say that this guy led a storied life is an understatement.Ĭreated by Tom Veitch as one of the main protagonists of the Tales of the Jedi comic, and designed to be a dark mirror of Luke Skywalker, Qel-Droma was born on Alderaan and raised as a Jedi, training under Master Arca Jeth.
